Your February 2009 issue came with a DVD of openSUSE 11.1. Although I have no quarrels with the technical side of the distribution, it does come with a wordy End User License Agreement (EULA) that the user is deemed to have agreed to by the mere act of installing and/or using openSUSE 11.1
Special Edition UBUNTU OS disk and conversion issue
don't recall - don't have mag with me
Feb 12, 2009 8:34pm GMT
I was interested in looking to see what this would look like and/or do for a couple old machines I have at home. One I expected nothing to happen with, and it didn't. The win95 dell box doesn't drive off the UBUNTU disk. However, I did expect minor miracles with my homebox (old p4 northwood cpu) running an upgrade winXP OS, however, even with the BIOS set to boot from the optical drive first, nothing happens, either on the 32 bit or the 64 bit side. Did I miss a caveat somewhere, like "we only do Vista" or something? I realize I am new to this, but thought a look-see would be easy enough.
Thanks for any advice....
Regards, mad.william.flint@verizon.net
